Oman Council 4th Session
The Oman Council opens its fourth session on 15 November 2026. It is the first session in which amendments to the Council Law, issued under Royal Decree No. 97/2026, will be applied. The State Council will discuss a study on priorities for scientific research and innovation and how to measure their developmental impact, alongside reports on the Council’s work. Shura Council member Ali bin Salem Al Makhmari will take the oath of office, and the Council will be briefed on the draft 2027 budget and approve committee plans. The Shura Council’s agenda includes discussion of draft laws and agreements, including laws on Gulf volunteer work, securities, civil defence and ambulance services, as well as agreements on transport, air services and ship recycling. The amendments provide for a Shura Council member to lose their membership if they miss three consecutive meetings or five non-consecutive meetings in a year; require the Council’s permission before criminal proceedings are taken against a member during a session; prohibit holding memberships in certain councils concurrently; and require the budget, development plans, and economic and social agreements to be referred to both Councils at the same time.
